Quick updates for everyone! We are doing great! All four of us. We have had 4 or5 sono's since my last post I think and all have been great. Well, I take that back. We did the nuchal fold screening and Baby B's measurement came back abnormal but the bloodwork was fine and the perinatologist that did it only spent 10 minutes on the sono. (all of my others are around 45 min)
We were worried at first but not so much now b/c they are keeping SUCH a CLOSE eye on them. Structurally they are perfect as far as they can see now. We did our follow up with my sister's perinatologist and he was FANTASTIC. He spent more time talking to us BEFORE the sono than the other guy did the ENTIRE appointment. So again, he was FANTASTIC.
Both babies are growing good. They each weigh 6 oz as of Monday and I officially started feeling them (or at least B) this week. I think I felt A today-it was more on my left side and that's where A is sitting.


We have been so busy of course! My parents are building a lake house which is going to be incredible and I can't wait for it to be finished. (We are thinking Thanksgiving) and their lot is awesome. It has lots of trees and the PERFECT fishing hole. The girls each caught 3 or more fish one Saturday. Reid was hilarious b/c she didn't even know what she was doing and she would just reel hers in and squeal with joy saying, "I catched a worm AGAIN!" and would just be soooo excited! Abby and Mallory were very patient fishergirls and caught lots and loved it. BUT DID NOT want to touch any of the fish. The boys however wanted to touch all of them. They loved the fish, the boats, and throwing the sticks in the water. They are going to love having a place to run around. Good thing Dad is putting a fence along the property so they don't go flying off into the lake! My dad is so thrilled that he is getting more grandkids that he has already changed the plans for the upstairs bunkroom for the kids and knocked out the attic to make the bunkroom bigger. He is hilarious.

THE BIGGEST SURPRISE OF ALL THESE DAYS THOUGH IS....Brad painted the nursery! Now, I understand this is what most fathers do. However, read on...
I went to Las Vegas over Memorial Day weekend for work-boring Dental convention-honestly. Anyways, before I left I was feeling a little overwhelmed by the list of things we have to do before these children arrive or before I go on the looming fear of bedrest. I LOVE decorating, doing everyone else's nursery's etc...but I have not been my usual decision making self lately. I basically just told Brad, Ah, let's just paint it the color of Will's room. He kept asking me if I was sure and I just kept saying, "It's fine, It's khaki, It's neutral. Whatever!" I just couldn't think of anything else to do and the thought of cute stripes or murals or anything overwhelmed me.
LITTLE DID I KNOW...Daddy was plotting! Keep in mind, Brad is NOT creative. I don't say that negatively, he is the thinker, the analytical one, the number cruncher. I am the creative one. Well, he picked colors, designed the border, EVERYTHING and did it ALL while I was gone! I sat in the floor and boo-hoo'd b/c I LOVE is SOOO much. His parents and brother all helped get it done in time but he came up with he whole idea and everything. Keep in mind, we still have all the junk in the room b/c we have to move stuff around and don't have a place yet-this weekend we are doing that...so here it is...it is khaki on the top, one shade darker on the bottom, and then has the diamond border with alternating khaki, green, and brown diamonds. It matches the fabrics perfectly and again- I LOVE IT! I will do better pictures when the room is cleaned out.
I will post some current sono pics and my belly pics later. It is getting big! I am 17+ weeks and look much further along-but there's two so that's ok! I actually got in trouble with the dr on Monday b/c I had LOST weight. Not trying, just the summer is here and I'm in my 2nd trimester - I don't know. I have been stuffing myself since Monday. Lots of mini meals and Ensure drinks to supplement. They are quick and easy at work.
Sorry for the LONG post...but hey, it's an update!
